On the: one hand, a dollar worth about five cents more then: its American counter part, is a significant, obsta cle. to. our exposts. It means that the exporter must ‘sell. ‘competitively. in the American. currency zone and accept payment in a dollar worth. less than 95-cents here. In operation the relatively low Ameri- | can «dollar is a five per cent tariff against Canadian imports, , \ ; . Ranier On the other hand, ow relatively high dollar ve- |. duces the price of our American imports, since we can buy a dollar’s worth of goods for 95 Canadian cents. If our-dollar sank to par the cost of all Ameri- can imports, about four billion dollars worth of: them a year, would increase by about 5 per cent, a huge extra bill for the Canadian consumer to meet. “. Not only the Canadian exporter but the whole travel industry is irked by the dollar’s present opu- lence. It is. often difficult for any resort owner in the country to persuade the American tourist that his’ dollar is worth only 95 ‘cents, that the existing discount is too large to be waived. _., Necessarily the visitor must be asked to pay the margin between the two currencies. This he does not rélish and often fails to understand. But with a little tact and patience the matter can be explained to any intelligent person. : Canadians know about these things from long cai unhappy experience, for often when our dollar was a few cents. below par we had to pay a discount of, ‘twenty per cent in most American resorts. ~The Canadian travel industry generally de- manids the actual exchange prevailing at the moment and ne more.
